Artist Thinking vs. Lawyer Thinking | Techdirt

Artist Thinking vs. Lawyer Thinking | Techdirt:
"... an interesting writeup by a performance artist who can't do a certain performance because of licensing issues. It's not that the musicians don't want their work used by the artist.

Not only was the campaign a challenge to the ruling pop patriarch, but it also sought to unify the voices a disgruntled music-loving community in the UK that traditionally had no means to get their message out."
